ABSTRACT There has been a dramatic increase in the emergence of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial strains, which made antibiotic choices for infection control increasingly limited and more expensive. In U.S. alone, bacteria cause at least 2 million infections 23,000 deaths year resulting $55–70 billion per economic impact. Antibiotics are critical to success surgical procedures including orthopedic prosthetic surgeries, resistance is occurring nearly all that infect people, most common...

This review provides brief overview current state-of-the-art research designing and using biomimetic electrospun nanofibers as engineering. It begins with introduction electrospinning nanofibers, focus on issues related design aspects. The next focuses several typical structures (e.g....
Rechargeable lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are receiving ever-increasing attention due to their high theoretical energy density and inexpensive raw sulfur materials. However, rapid capacity fade has been one of the key barriers for further improvement. It is well accepted that major degradation mechanisms S-cathodes include low electrical conductivity S sulfides, precipitation nonconductive Li2S2 Li2S, poly-shuttle effects. To determine these factors, a comprehensive study cathodes with...
Prevention of postsurgery infection and promotion biointegration are the key factors to achieve long-term success in orthopedic implants. Localized delivery antibiotics bioactive molecules by implant surface serves as a promising approach toward these goals. However, previously reported methods for functionalization titanium alloy implants load ingredients suffer from time-consuming complex processes lack stability. Here, we present design characterization an adhesive, osteoconductive,...

Amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) are potential green substitutes of aqueous amine solutions for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. However, the viscous nature AAILs greatly hinders their further development in CO2 capture applications. In this contribution, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium lysine ([EMIM][Lys]) was synthesized and immobilized into a porous poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microsphere support post-combustion The [EMIM][Lys] exhibited good thermal stability could be facilely...
